I found these awesome Christmassweaters at the thrift store!!Aren't they just prefect!!!Well, fine so I wouldn't really wear them but Ihad something else in mind for them. My good friends invited us over for Christmaslunch with their family.They have four children....3 girls and a boy.So I decided I wanted to dosomething special for them.It was 5 pm and we were supposed to beat their house at 12 the next day.So I got to work.....I grabbed the Christmassweater and started cutting....like a crazy ladypieces of fabric flying everywhere. I wassleep deprived and on a mission. Probablynot the greatest combination.I had it all mapped out in my head just what Iwas going to do. When we showed up for lunchthere would be a bag sitting on the front porch.Weird right?Inside this bag was a card from Mrs. Claus herself!!!!In this little note she said that she likes to picka family every year and make them a special gift.These particular children minded their parentsall year round and were very well behaved.

So she made each one of them their very own stuffedanimal. But, these were very special animals because eachone was made using one of Santa'sold sweaters that he just can't fit into anymore.

He just eats to many cookies while he is deliveringpresents. These animals are also a reminder to thechildren to be good all year long.

It was so fun making these for the kids.They were so excited to have this special gift fromMrs. Claus!!!

Anyways, I had an amazing time at my friends homewith her awesome family. I had so much fun makingthese cute little sweater animals too. So,don't throw out those old sweaters....put them touse!!! Have fun creating!!!

sewing machine. I was so stinkin excited!!!! For my birthday my sister had a baby....wellmaybe that wasn't for my birthday, but she did haveMason 1 week after my birthday!!! Just a few days old poor little Mason had to be rushed tothe ER because he was having trouble breathing. My sister (Savanah) and her husband (Daniel)were heartbroken when they found outMason was allergic to their 2 cats. It was an easydecision that they had to get rid of the catsbut it weighed heavy on them!!! So I made my very first project on my brand newmachine......this poor pitful, homely, no eyeballkitty kat named Senior Gomez!!! I wantedmy sister and her husband to be able to remember (likethey could forget) their two amazing cats and stillbe able to have a cat in the house.

And even though I messed up this poorSenior Gomez (my spanish accent sounds french)about 35 different places, I know that in his newhome those mess ups will be looked at with loveand fond memories!! So Adios my little kitty friendyou get shipped to your new home tomorrow.

Have a great day!!!!

P.S. I am back now and will be posting again daily......and I will be having more giveaways so stick around ;)

AFTER So I have a baby shower that I am goingto tomorrow and I really didn't wantto buy just some ol' bag to put my gifts in.....so I took an old box that I got a gift in and...VOILA...I repurposed it for a Baby.

definition inside the flower when you looked at it. I also did some stenciling on the card using theStampin sponges, a stencil and a scallop circle punch.

And I am pretty happy with the results. I don't know howI would mail this card because the flower does stickup from the cards pretty far....but it would be greatto give to someone face to face.....I am sure you couldmail it to....you would just need a bigger special envelope. Here's what I used:
